How to Auto Login Horizon View 5.3

[agsnowdon]

Hi

I have added the following parameters to my icon to auto complete the server URL, username and password: -serverURL XXXXXXXXXX -userName XXXXXXXXXX -password XXXXXXXXXX

Is there a way to auto press the login button? which will then take me to the dialog to choose which desktop I would like to load?

Thanks

Ash

Pretty sure the -desktopName parameter still works with all versions of the client, although I haven't tested with the latest version. It corresponds with the Display name of the pool. Should automatically launch straight into the desktop if credentials are provided. Add the -unattended switch for completely silent operation.

Thats perfect, I also just had to add the -domain parameter to get it to go all the way through. Now my icon target is:

"C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Client\bin\wswc.exe" -standalone -serverURL XXXXX -userName XXXXX -password XXXXX -domain XXXXX -desktopName XXXXX

This is going to really help out for logging into the multiple environments!
